TRAIN WITH TIKA

Fitness equipment can be intimidating, exercise selection is overwhelming, and we all have a story. Losing 60 pounds of postpartum weight was one of the most exciting parts of mine. Now I know it’s true: you can turn stress into joy, aches into strength, and setbacks into comebacks!

Let me be loud and clear: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO “GET INTO SHAPE” BEFORE YOU MEET WITH A TRAINER. That’s like calling an Uber, only to have the driver tell you to walk two miles toward them before they pick you up. I’ll meet you exactly where you are now. 

​

​I have experience with those who are:

• Overweight or underweight

• Recovering from an injury

• Prenatal or postnatal

• Living with chronic pain or fatigue

• New to exercise or advanced in fitness

• Preparing for a military readiness physical test

• Individuals awaiting organ transplants, including kidney transplants  

• Teenage athletes, seniors, and everyone in between
   

I prioritize:

• Injury prevention, because you can’t meet your goals if you keep getting hurt

• Smart, joint-friendly exercise because my job is to not cause you more problems or pain!

• Intelligent movement based on science

• Sustainable, effective exercises to maximize your results
   

I encourage:

• Movement between sessions (I’m happy to provide additional “DIY” workouts)

• Getting real with your limited time budget

• Honoring your rest when you’re sick

• Taking incremental steps toward better nutrition (progress, not perfection!)

• Turning setbacks into comebacks!
